Brief Description of the Drawings

[0009] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of Vehicle 1 relating to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a top view of cabin section 2. [Figure 3] This is a front view of vehicle 1. [Figure 4] This is a front view of vehicle 1 with door 21 open. [Figure 5] This is a perspective view of vehicle 1 with the passenger-side door 21 closed. [Figure 6] This is a perspective view of vehicle 1 with the passenger-side door 11 open. [Figure 7] This is a side view of staircase 40. [Figure 8] This is a cross-sectional view showing the interior of cabin 2. [Figure 9] This is a cross-sectional view showing the interior of cabin 2. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a vehicle 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Vehicle 1 is, for example, a truck or a trailer (trailer head). Vehicle 1 comprises a cabin 2 and a body 3.

[0011] Figure 2 is a top view of the cabin 2. The passenger-side side wall 20 of the cabin 2 slopes from front to rear. A door 21 is provided on the side wall 20. Stairs 40 for getting in and out of the cabin 2 are provided at the bottom of the passenger-side side wall 20. A roof 22 is provided at the top of the side wall 20, extending at least to the upper end of the door 21.

[0012] Figure 3 is a front view of vehicle 1. The width W of the inclined side wall 20 in the lateral direction of vehicle 1 (horizontal distance from the front side edge of the side wall 20 to the passenger side of the body 3) is approximately the same as the width of the stairs 40. The stairs 40 are positioned so as not to exceed the overall width of vehicle 1 (so as not to exceed the passenger side of the body 3). The roof 22 is also positioned so as not to exceed the overall width of vehicle 1. The stairs 40 have a step in front of vehicle 1, and the crew can get in and out of the cabin 2 from the front of vehicle 1.

[0013] Figure 4 is a front view of the vehicle 1 with the door 21 in an open state. The door 21 has a structure in which a hinge (not shown) is provided at the rear side end of the vehicle 1, and the door 21 opens such that the front side of the vehicle 1 is exposed. When the door 21 is opened without exceeding the full width of the vehicle 1, the width W1 in the lateral direction of the vehicle 1 of the opening gap of the door 21 is a width that allows a person to pass through, and crew members can enter and exit the cabin 2 from the front of the vehicle 1 through the open portion.

[0014] Figure 5 is a perspective view of the vehicle 1 with the door 21 on the front passenger seat side in a closed state. Figure 6 is a perspective view of the vehicle 1 with the door 11 on the front passenger seat side in an open state. An anti-slip member 41 is affixed to each step of the stairs 40. The anti-slip member 41 may be, for example, a rubber material, or a metal material having irregularities or openings. The anti-slip member 41 can have a color different from that of the base portion of the stairs 40 so as to be distinguishable. As shown in Figure 2, Figure 5 and Figure 6, the roof 12 substantially covers the stairs 40 (at least the uppermost step of the stairs 40).

[0015] Figure 7 is a perspective view of the stairs 40 from the side. The stairs 40 are provided with risers 42. The risers 42 are provided so as to incline toward the outer side of the vehicle 1. The risers 42 function as a guide that directs air from the front of the vehicle 1 to flow outward and rearward when the vehicle 1 is traveling. Thereby, the air resistance of the vehicle 1 can be reduced.

[0016] An auxiliary step 43 can be provided at the lower portion of the lowermost step of the stairs 40. The auxiliary step 43 reduces the height difference from the ground and enables easy entry and exit. The auxiliary step 43 can be arranged so as to protrude from the front surface of the vehicle 1.

[0017] FIGS. 8 and 9 are cross-sectional views showing the inside of the cabin 2. A bed 53 is provided inside the cabin 2. The bed 53 is provided at an upper rear portion of the driver's seat 51 and the passenger seat 52. The passenger seat 52 may be arranged further rearward than the driver's seat 51 so that a crew member who climbs the stairs 40 and boards from the passenger seat side can easily pass to the driver's seat 51. A cutout portion 531 can be provided in the bed 53 so that the bed 53 does not collide with the passenger seat 52 and the bed 53 does not cover the upper part of the passenger seat 52.

[0018] Inside the cabin 2, a ladder 54 for climbing up and down to the bed 53 is arranged. The ladder 54 is installed spanning between a gap portion 55 between the passenger seat 52 and the side wall 20 and the passenger seat side end 532 of the bed 53. The ladder 54 is mounted so as to be pivotable about one side beam 541 as an axis. Two protrusions 533 and 534 protrude from the side end 532 of the bed 53, the upper end of one side beam 541 of the ladder 54 is rotatably attached to the protrusion 534, and the lower end is rotatably attached to the bearing portion 535. Further, the upper end of the other side beam 542 of the ladder 54 is detachably attached to the protrusion 533, and the lower end is detachably attached to the support portion 536. Thereby, the ladder 54 can rotate around the side beam 541, and as shown in FIG. 9, by being rotated to a state along the side wall 20, a crew member can enter the rear part of the passenger seat 52 and the driver's seat 51 from the gap portion 55.

[0019] The floor surface material of the floor surface portion 56 and the floor surface material of the gap portion 55 may be made different so as to separate the floor surface portion 56 on which the driver's seat 51 and the passenger seat 52 are placed from the gap portion 55, or a floor material made of rubber or fiber may be attached only to the portion corresponding to the gap portion 55 in the floor surface inside the cabin 2.

[0020] While the present embodiment has been described above, the above embodiment is for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the interpretation of the present invention. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from the gist thereof, and the present invention also includes equivalents thereof.
